You can create one from scratch but, given the sheer number of configurations, it is
easier to import and tweak it.
Before anything, you need to ensure that the trackers and Agile Dashboard services are installed and
activated for your project.

The homepage lists and links to all the milestones in your project. they are sorted according to status and date.

In the “Done” tab, you have all the milestones whose status is closed.

In the “What’s hot” tab, you have all the milestones whose status is open and whose start date and duration make them ongoing.

In the “What’s next” tab, you have all the milestones whose status is open and whose start date and duration either places them in the future or are not set.

If start_date and duration are not defined in the tracker, but status is open, you will have the milestones both in “What’s hot” and “Next”.
If start_date and duration are defined but empty, you will have the milestones in the three tabs.

If configured, it provides links to cardwalls, so that the team can directly makes its daily stand up changes.

At any moment of the sprint, the development team can monitor the sprint or release progress with overview tab.

With the burnup and burndown view, you can see how your on going work is progressing.

Agile Dashboard: Burnup and burndown view

To configure a burnup and burndown charts please refer to (Burndown) part of documentation.

When the release end, and during the sprint planning you can use the velocity chart to determine your new team capacity.
The velocity chart display the sum of done effort of linked artifacts.
Only backlog artifacts are taken in account during computation (artifact linked in planning configuration of Agiledashboard).

Agile Dashboard: Velocity chart

Known limitation: if an artifact is created directly at a “done” status, velocity won’t be computed.

The cardwall (see Cardwall) lets the development team manipulates the cards with drag’n drop to change their status, or assign the tasks
and change the remaining effort on the fly, that is to say staying on the same page.

The team can configure the display of the assignement by choosing between the display of the username or the avatar.

This configuration will be the same for all the sprints, but can be changed at any moment thanks to the “Settings”
select box on the right.

Finally, it offers the possibility to filter the cards thanks to the search at the top right of the cardwall. You will be able to filter by
assignee for instance, or by the type of tracker (display only the tasks or only the user stories).

To create your own Kanban, you will need to create a tracker.
Once your tracker has been created, go to the Agile Dashboard service of your project.
Click on the AddaKanban button located in the header of the right hand side section.
In the modal, enter a name for your Kanban, select your newly created tracker and validate.

Agile Dashboard: Kanban creation

A new Kanban appears in the Kanban section. Click on Cardwall to open it.

Card fields are tracker fields to be displayed in the Kanban cards (only in expanded view).
For instance you can easily display who is the creator of the card, who are the assignees, what is the priority etc.
You can also define the card’s background color.

Agile Dashboard: Card fields in Kanban

To do so, you have to configure the Cards semantic in the tracker administration (my_tracker>Administration>ManageSemantic>CardSemantic).

Your Kanban can be filtered using the public reports of its tracker.
For instance, let’s imagine you want to setup a filter showing the tasks assigned to the current user accessing the Kanban. To do so, you have to:

Define a public report (ex: assigned_to=MYSELF())

Go back to your Kanban

Click on EditthisKanban

Choose your report in the Trackerreportfilters section

Save

Once it is done, a filter selectbox appears in the header of the Kanban.

Agile Dashboard: Filtered Kanban

Your Kanban will be reloaded with cards matching the query defined in the report, each time you change the filter.

You can add your Kanban to one of your dashboards as a widget.
To do it, click on the Addtodashboard button and select the target dashboard in the dropdown.

Agile Dashboard: Kanban widget

If a filter is selected when adding the widget to the dashboard, then the Kanban widget will be filtered too.
It is particularly interesting when you want to have several views for a same Kanban.
To edit the current filter, all you have to do is to click on the cog icon in the widget header and choose another filter.
